Publisher Description
★★★★★ “Emmanuelle Snow pulls at your heartstrings in the best ways. She writes complex characters with complex emotions and relatable stories.” (Goodreads)
★★★★★ “Emmanuelle writes such strong woman.” (Goodreads)
We were never supposed to fall in love. And yet, here we were—living under the same roof, sparks flying, hearts tangled, and a six-month U.S. tour looming over us.
Sam Stevens, country music legend and father to two amazing girls, had always been off-limits. I was supposed to be the nanny, the safe one. But our chemistry was impossible to ignore, simmering with longing that grew harder to hide with every passing day. As we tried to balance the responsibilities of family, fame, and our complicated pasts, I couldn’t tell where temptation ended and love began.
Could we risk everything we’d worked for—our trust, our hearts, and the tour—for a chance at something real? Or would the shadows of our pasts tear us apart before we even had a shot?
Rising Star is an emotional, soul-stirring romance about love, second chances, and finding redemption in each other’s arms—the breathtaking conclusion to Sam and Madison’s story, and book two in the Lonesome Heart duet.

Customer Reviews
It’s absolutely incredible, heart-wrenching, a tearjerker, and you won’t want to put it down!
Formerly Legend and Country (Carter Hills Band 7), now part 2 of the Lonesome Heart Duet.
I absolutely adore Emmanuelle Snow - all of her books (I’ve read all 7 Carter Hills Band series now), and her as a person. She’s just so incredible! A brilliant author (amazing!), and such a kind and beautiful person.
Legend and Country - WOW! This one has so much depth, so many layers and emotions … so much going on here. It really needs all 580 pages for you to experience everything and heal along with the characters.
Sam, musician extraordinaire (nickname “Legend”, formerly friend of the Carter Hills Band, and who we know from previous books, a tiny bit), left the country music scene when his wife left him and his two very young daughters because being a wife and mom just wasn’t for her, leaving behind three broken people.
Fast forward two years, and Riley (manager), who we know and love from the previous books, tries to bring Sam back from the depths of depression and barely surviving, by getting him to think about getting back into music and touring again, with a nanny he’s heard of. Enter Madison… who changed everything, even though she’s had a hard life, and things continue being extremely difficult with twists that no one could have ever predicted (because every Emmanuelle Snow book has to have extreme circumstances that bring out all the tears, even for this non-emotional reader, and that’s just life)!!
It’s absolutely incredible, heart-wrenching, a tearjerker (get your tissues, chocolate and wine ready!), and you won’t want to put it down so make sure you have a really long block of time free. One of her absolute best, and one of the very best books around, and probably of this whole year (yeah, I know it’s only January)!
I received an advance review copy from the author, and this is my honest feedback.
